Apparent thievery
of Daily Nebrasfcan
being investigated
By Gail Smith
Questions about the apparent 'theft of large quantities
of Wednesday's Daily Nebraskan remained unanswered
late Wednesday.
The papers were discovered missing about 11:30 am,
said Editor-in-chief Vince Boucher. -
Boucher said he found no newspapers in most City
Campus buildings after he discovered die apparent theft.
It is unlikely they were removed by the normal distribu
tion process, he said, adding that he thinks the removal of
the newspapers was a theft, not a "prank.
"Negative reaction that Daily Nebraskan editors have
received leads me to believe the theft of the newspapers
possibly may be related to some of our coverage of the
ASUN election," Boucher said. v
Boucher said an anonymous man telephoned him at
the Daily Nebraskan office Wednesday about 4 pjn. and
said only "look what we can do."

ager Jerri Ilaussler ssid, she notified Campus Folice and :

in large quantities from the distribution box at the west
entry." '

Independent presidential candidate BUI Mueller had a
substantial lead in ASUN preliminary election results early
Thursday moniing, according to ASUN EkrtoralCommis
sioner Ray Walden.
Mueller, who was endorsed by the Greek slate, had a
preliminary vote total of 906. University Student Aware
' ness (USA) candidate Scott Cook was second with 518
votes.
Independent first vice-presidential candidate Paula Hae
der, also endorsed by the slate, led that category with a '
preliminary total of 643 votes. Alliance of Concerned Stu
dents (ACS) candidate Rachel Young apparently was
second with 552 votes.
New Student Coalition (NSC) second vice-presidential
candidate Dennis Martin showed a substantial preliminary
lead with 1,021 votes, followed by USA candidate John
Welch with 678 votes.
Walden said he was surprised at the preliminary elec
tion results.
As the thing turned out with the Greek slate sweeping
the executive spots and it's starting to look like they took
the Senate positions too, the Greek slate had an influence,
he said. "To that I attribute the higher voting turnout,
about 100 higher than last year."
Walden said although the figures are preliminary ones,
he "can't see a reversal" for any of the executive winners.'
An estimated 2390 ballots were cast, he added.
. Mueller, ASUN president-elect, said he was "very, very
surprised by the vote."
"Students probably said more (in the election) than
they have on this campus in a long while," Mueller said.
"I think students voted for a change. . Soi st student more
like themselves."
He said being endorsed by the slate and being what he
, called "an outsider" : (not an incumbent) were "very
- helpful" in his victory '
- "The slate had a large effect," Mueller said. "Greeks
got out and voted like they never had before, but I also
obviously had some independent support."
Mueller said he has not found a first priority yet, but
said he will be "brainstorming" with those who are
elected executives and senators.
Cook said his first reaction to the results of the elec
' tion is that "a few controlled" the election results.
lie added that he hopes ASUN Senate will be able to

continue the credibility and interest "that it has been able
to gather this year "
Defeated NSC presidential candidate Ron Sindelar,
who showed 381 votes, said he thought the Daily Nebras
' kan "was very effective in eliciting support for the Greek
ticket," with it's publication of stories about the Greek
slate in Wednesday's issue.
Paul Morrison, ACS presidential candidate, said both
he and NSC candidate Sindelar "had worked our asses off.
We know what we're doing in ASUN."
"I question whether B21 Mueller knows anything about
it," he continued. "I'm disappointed the Greeks went out
and voted like that. ASUN is supposed to represent the
students not the fucking Greeks."
Morrison said he would file an ekction appeal with the
ASUN Electoral Commission first thing Thursday. He said
he had "three strong cases to have the election nullified:"
"By God , I'm not going to sit here and let somebody as
incompetent as Dill Mueller take over the realms of
ASUN," Morrison said. E21 even admitted during the
campaign that he knows nothing abouf ASUN."
Stupid Americans Party (SAP) candidate Young, who
tied with Morrison, said that he was a bit upset by the
way the election turned out aitd that he was upset by the
Greek slate. '
v If he had known there was going to be a Greek slate, he
said, he would not have run.
Independent presidential candidate Mark Blongewicz,
who received 132 unofficial votes, said he thought
Mueller's victory was "a sad state of affairs when people
vote along the lines of an endorsement of living units in
stead of voting because of the issues." "
Judith-Anne Sadler, Independent presidential candi
date who trailed the other candidates, said she thought
that "after all the publicity (about the Greek slate) I felt
it would go .to a straight party ticket or the Greek slate."
She said if it is true that Greeks and non-Greeks really
do not get along, that next year's Senate "should be fun."
